Paul Auster, a renowned author and filmmaker known for his narratives, including works like 'The New York Trilogy' and '4 3 2 1,' has died at the age of 77.
Paul Auster, a prolific, prize-winning man of letters and filmmaker known for such inventive narratives and meta-narratives as 'The New York Trilogy' and '4 3 2 1,' has died at age 77. Auster's death was confirmed Wednesday by his literary representatives, the Carol Mann Agency, which did not immediately provide additional details. Auster had been diagnosed with cancer in 2022. Starting in the 1970s, Auster completed more than 30 books, translated into dozens of languages.
Called the 'dean of American post-modernists' and 'the most meta of American meta-fictional writers,' Auster blended history, politics, genre experiments, existential quests and self-conscious references to writers and writing. 'The New York Trilogy,' which included 'City of Glass,' 'Ghosts' and 'The Locked Room,' was a postmodern detective saga in which names and identities blur and one protagonist is a private eye named Paul Auster.
